Conductance mechanisms of rapidly desensitizing cation channelrhodopsins from cryptophyte algae

2020-03-21

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Channelrhodopsins guide algal phototaxis and are widely used as optogenetic probes for control of membrane potential with light. “Bacteriorhodopsin-like” cation channelrhodopsins (BCCRs) from cryptophytes differ in primary structure from other CCRs, lacking usual residues important for their cation conductance. Instead, BCCR sequences match more closely those of rhodopsin proton pumps, containin...
